Chapter 68: The Dawn Is Quiet Here (8)
After the personnel were arranged, I went to the tunnel with most of the people to rest, and I left all the vigilance and monitoring of the perimeter to the oil bottle. Perhaps because I had been busy all day and didn't get any rest at all, I spent a while in the pit and fell asleep. Just as I was sleeping soundly, I was woken up.
I opened my eyes and saw that the oil bottle was crouching beside me and looking at me. When he saw me open his eyes, he immediately whispered, "It seems that there is movement over there, and the gardener has seen a figure appear on the periphery of our station, as if he has come to observe closely." ”
I nodded, rubbing my hands together and rubbing my face, "What time is it?" ”
"It's ten o'clock in three minutes." Drag the oil bottle replied.
"Is there any movement over there at Milk? Has anyone come back to report the news? I asked.
"Nope. It's quiet outside, there's nothing out of the ordinary. The oil bottle replied.
"Let's go check it out first." I said as I looked at the others in the tunnel, "Get ready, wait for orders." ”
I went to a corner of the station, where a table with tables, chairs, and benches had been set up in the wall, and the gardener was looking out with a telescope, and when he heard the movement he looked over, and when he saw us he stretched out his hand and pulled me up.
I stepped on the table and stool against the wall, and the gardener handed the binoculars to the woods behind the station, "There is some movement over there, as if they are watching us here, and see that the other party will soon make a move." ”
I looked through the telescope, and then the bright moonlight, and when I looked closely, I could see shadows flickering in the woods. But it doesn't seem to have many personnel, so it's probably a reconnaissance team.
"Keep watching." I handed the binoculars back to the gardener, then jumped off the platform, looked at the oil bottle, and said, "Take me to the veteran." ”
The veteran was on the other side of the garrison at the corner of the wall, and he had nothing to do with it. Everything was quiet, but the silence was a little weird. I looked at it and said, "Drag the oil bottle, send a few people up, the other party should have a tentative attack in a while, you take these people to knock down the opponent's tentative attack first." After I finished speaking, I looked at the veteran and said, "Don't shoot casually when he hits, everything is waiting for my orders." ”
"Understood!" Veterans and oil bottles arrived in unison.
The oil bottle quickly ran back to the pit and brought the three men to the fence. I stayed with the veteran and looked outside. After about ten minutes, something suddenly moved in the woods opposite. I immediately took the veteran's binoculars and looked over there, only to see a few dark figures cautiously touching the wall of our station.
The oil bottle didn't move, that's right. We'll have to figure out what they're trying to do, maybe there's more people behind them watching us, and if we just open fire, the people behind them will immediately get more bullets.
I watched silently, and after a certain distance, the gang suddenly stopped. I lowered my binoculars and looked to our side, because I thought someone on our side had made a noise and they had noticed it. Otherwise, why would they suddenly stop and stop moving forward?
After a few moments, I turned around, and there was no movement from us, and the oil bottle and the man were still hiding under the wall without sticking their heads out. After about three minutes, there was a sudden noise from the woods.
"Shelling! Note! I immediately turned to look at the oil bottles, "Hide! ”
Realizing the shelling, he immediately beckoned his people to take cover, and at about the same time, there was movement in the air, and then the shells landed on the outside of the wall and on a barracks where they were stationed against the wall.
The shells had just finished exploding here, and a new round of shells had already flown over our heads and exploded again. I looked up at the station, and judging from the landing points of these shells on the other side, it was completely using artillery bombardment to explore the way, and there was no clear point to cover at all, it was more like adjusting the firing elements while probing.
"The other party's people are coming." The veteran turned to me and shouted.
I turned my head to look outside, and there were indeed dark shadows coming this way, but from time to time these shadows were the same as before, but more black shadows came out of the woods. It seems that the first ones came out as observations, and now they come to indicate the direction of the last. They came out of the woods under the cover of artillery fire, and under the instructions of the first ones, they came in two groups and touched the side of the oil bottle and the side of us.
This is still a tentative attack, and if the real attack is just such strength and formation, then I can go to sleep now. At this moment, the shells were still falling from time to time, and I looked at the veteran soldiers around me, "Hold steady and don't shoot at will." ”
"Understood!" The veteran answered.
I turned and jumped off the platform where the seat was set up, and ran quickly to the side of the oil bottle, and I glanced at the three men he had brought with me, all of whom seemed to be the remnants of Ivanovich.
"The other side is still trying to attack. Don't hit too hard for a while, put a few shots first and see how the other party reacts. And the veteran, you send some more people to him. Wait for my command to do it later. I said.
"Understood." The oil bottle and the others nodded in response.
I immediately continued to run along the wall, and at this moment the shells were falling more and more rapidly, indicating that a decent tentative attack of the other side was about to begin. I quickly came to the gardener's side, "You'll be on the lookout for attacking those who come out first." Don't get too caught up in the fight, you'll have to stop after two shots. ”
"Understood!" The gardener replied.
I turned my head to look inside the station, and dragged the oil bottle to the veterans with a few more people. I turned my head to look outside, and the people who came out later were making rapid progress, and at this moment they had reached an area of about forty or fifty meters from the outer wall.
Can't wait any longer. I turned my head to look at the side of the oil bottle, which was back in its place, and was watching the situation outside, and I whispered to the gardener, "Ready." ”
The gardener raised his gun to aim, and I looked at the oil bottle and took a deep breath, "Fire!" ”
As soon as I finished speaking, the gardener behind me began to shoot at the gunshot, then he and another man from the oil bottle began to shoot, and then from the old soldier.
I looked up and saw that the people on the other side were quickly hiding, and sure enough, all kinds of fires began to flash in the woods behind them, and bullets flew towards the outer wall in front of us. At this moment, the shelling suddenly stopped, but everyone knew that it was not the other side saving shells, but the other side adjusting the target of the shelling.
I looked at the oil bottle, "Retreat with the men and get out of this wall." Fast! I turned my head and patted the gardener, "Get out of here, go to that pit and hide first, and then you take up this side of the barracks and attack them when they start attacking again." ”
After the gardener understood, we rushed towards the pit we had dug, and just as we entered the pit the shells came again. This time, it was clear that there was a clear target, and almost all of the shells landed on both sides or around the wall, and some of the shells exploded directly on the wall, directly tearing apart a section of the wall.
After a period of heavy bombardment, artillery fire began to extend towards the station. I don't know who lit an oil lamp in the tunnel, and I looked at the others in the dim light. The oil bottle still looks indifferent, and that kind of expression makes people have the urge to slap him twice. The gardener, who seemed a little nervous, listened intently to the movement outside. The twenty men that Vurich left me had obviously fought a lot of battles, and everyone behaved more naturally, nothing special. The old guy left me with little less so, almost all of them just held the weapons in their hands, and their eyes were somewhat terrified, and some of them were even trembling.
"Haven't fought?" I looked at the men and asked.
One of them nodded, "I haven't beaten it." ”
I nodded, I don't care if the oil bottles are all left by Vulich. I said, "Don't be nervous, you guys stay here for a while, don't move." After I finished speaking, I looked at the oil bottle and said, "After a while, the shelling will weaken and immediately lead people to the barracks on both sides of the station, the other side is estimated to come in through the breach in the wall soon, and wait for some people to come in and wait for me to shoot, and kill them together." After saying that, I turned my head to look at the veterans, "You stay here with these recruits." Arrange their respective positions, and if there are more people coming in, you will use this tunnel as a position and start organizing resistance on the spot. Everyone remember not to let the other side outflank the walls on both sides of the station, if the other side succeeds, we are in danger. ”
"Understood!" The oil bottle then turned and pointed to a few people to follow him, and the others were all assigned to me.
After a while, the shelling outside quickly subsided. I looked at everyone, "Remember what I just said, you must each hold their own positions, and now the opponent is just trying to attack, and the real attack has not yet begun." Let's do it! ”
With that, I climbed out of the pit with the oil bottle and the gardener, followed by the twenty people who had been left for me by the Vuuriqi, and everyone quickly headed to the barracks on both sides of the station.
